    Stopped here for a drink and to say hello to the bartender for my father in law. Hubs wanted to grab a bowl of minestrone soup with his drink He was pleasantly surprised it came with bread, butter and Parmesan cheese. Reminds him of his childhood, parents and grandparents.. Service was quick and the atmosphere was a buzz with laughter and familiarity. This must be the spot to be for the locals. We love the friendliness and the vibe. Make sure you stop in. The food is fantastic, as we have eaten here many times! Cheers and bon appétit!!!!!!!

    *First time review* Super cute entrance and interior, very cozy. As others stated, it is a slower paced meal. Polenta came out (insanely good), then the soup, then the salad, then food. Time in between each dish we are looking at 20 minutes or so. If you don't want to wait, maybe you can let them know. Polenta - 5/5 insanely good! I'd honestly come back and just order that. Salad - 3.5/5 big salad, fully loaded, a tad too vinegary but good. Soup - 4/5 delicious! Tasty and a lot of soup. Wasn't expecting a big bowl. Nice portion! Raviolis - meat raviolis and marinara, good! My mom liked them. I did too Carbonara - a little rough if I'm being honest. This was not a carbonara-- it was more like an Alfredo sauce with pieces of bacon. I wouldn't get it again. Overall, best place! Excited to come back for the nice service and polenta.

The reviews made it a quick decision to head over to Teresa's Place! As soon as we entered, the staff placed us in a quiet area that made me feel "at home". Servers explained the menu and specials promptly. Warm fresh bread was a perfect starter since we had just enjoyed wine tasting. We ordered the lasagna and chicken D'Aglio. I chose a pesto sauce for my pasta. Their entrees as filling, as these come with minestrone soup, bread, and salad. I couldn't get enough of the croutons, dressing, and garbanzo beans with the fresh, crisp salad! When you're here, make sure to walk around inside to admire the decor and read their family's rich history, including photos with the Pope St. John Paul II. I enjoyed reading a bit of Italy geography and history on the dining table place mat too! This is a big restaurant with plenty of tables, especially ideal for bigger parties like family gatherings. There's so much to see and enjoy while you wait for your food! When I boxed up my leftovers, one of the staff came to me and helped me scrape the creamy, garlic and olive oil sauce from the chicken dish and scrape the pesto from the bottom of the pasta dish into my to-go box. This is the type of personal service I love and appreciate from family-owned restaurants! I'm glad we came across this lovely restaurant with wonderful staff and authentic, delicious Italian food!

They actually create great dishes with unique and great flavors that stand out. We enjoyed the Puttanesca, Tortellini and Scampi Mediterraneo.

They passed, these we so moist and flavorful and not just beef! They were huge and smothers in an incredible red sauce that had the perfect sweetness that reminded me of Grandma. For the Win!! Can't wait to dine again!

The Caesar Salad had perfectly crunchy croutons, a flavorful dressing, and just the right amount of Parmesan. The burrata came with super fresh, tasty tomatoes and was a standout. The shrimp Alfredo was creamy, rich, and really satisfying. Service was attentive with regular check-ins, and the ambiance felt warm and welcoming; definitely a good place for kids or a casual meal any time of day. I'd recommend making a reservation ahead of time since it's on the smaller side and fills up quickly!

    What an incredible first visit to Taste in Plymouth!…read more The restaurant itself is cozy, beautiful, and has such a welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Our server, Bessie, was absolutely amazing, kind, funny, and so helpful in answering all of our questions during our first visit. Now, onto the food! The appetizers alone could have been a meal. The Caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had, and as a girlie who doesn't usually love soup, I have to say the corn soup my husband ordered was delicious bursting with flavor and perfectly creamy. My husband chose the burger with truffle fries, and they absolutely nailed it. The bacon jam, arugula, goat cheese aioli... every bite was incredible, and the fries were amazing. I had the steak with scalloped potatoes and carrots, and as someone who typically likes her meat well done, I can honestly say this steak was excellent. Dessert was mouthwatering and packed with flavor. The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality of food and exceptional service we received. We visited on Saturday, the day before Father's Day and two days before my birthday. Not only did they personalize my dessert with a birthday message, but they also surprised me with a birthday card signed by the team. Then, just five days later, a handwritten thank-you card and birthday wishes arrived at my home. That is the kind of service that leaves a lasting impression. Thank you, Taste, for such a memorable first experience. We will absolutely be back!

Service was impeccable. For dinner, you can choose a three course or five course meal. We chose the three course which includes one small plate, one large plate, and dessert... We also added the wine pairing. The mushroom cigar was to die for. I ordered halibut for my main course. It was cooked to perfection. The hint of tarragon in the vegetables was delicious and the risotto ball was excellent. I always order Affogato. Unfortunately I forgot to order decaf. It is currently 12:30 AM and I am still awake, but it was so worth it.

I want to say many of the Strings locations have closed throughout the Bay Area, but this specific location in Jackson was such a nice experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was great ~ we ordered from the kids meal almost immediately, and they brought out a sippy cup and high chair within minutes. We ordered our entrees ~ I went with the Cheese Stuffed Shells and my husband the Spaghetti with hearty meat sauce and meatballs. We had yummy warm bread and olive oil/vinegar delivered to the table, and each entree came with a café salad or minestrone soup..so of course we went with both. The meal was fresh, comforting, and everything we needed and wanted for a quick stop to rest our bones for a nice meal on the road. Inviting interior, reasonably priced, and we even tried Amador Brewing beers, local to the area. To note, you can substitute gluten free pasta for an additional price. Extensive menu (including pizzas) for a little bit of something for everyone. Located in a shopping center, plenty of parking..would def come back when we're in town next year for our annual trip!
